"The hatred of Bush that is consuming these people has made them insane."

Yeah. They´re insane. I can´t believe it when watching that BS.

Then they suspected that the oil fields aren´t on fire...
because "Saddam would never burn his own oil". Pffff...

But why would you want to sell them if you don't intend to keep those 'promises'? It's hard to appeal to morons without losing your integrity or without at least losing it in their eyes.

[Terriergal]

Yikes. Sounds *awfully* religious for a secular government leader.

Yeah, could have been pretaped, sounded awfully generic also. I have also heard that Arab calendar seems pretty hard to keep track of. It is so much different than ours and not uniform across the entire area. So it's hard to know when religious holidays will take place from year to year. If you notice, Ramadan falls at differing times each year according to our calendar.

The other thing I noticed, if it was him, he spoke very slowly, almost like he was drugged. Maybe he *was* wounded and/or shell-shocked.

[Terriergal]

I cannot imagine 6-7 feet of snow all at once! Wowee! the most I have ever seen at once is about 2 feet.

[Terriergal]

Maybe he was on a ton of painkillers and actually *was* wounded.

I'm so terribly sorry for being so slow in responding but when I have the choice of watching war, live on TV or being brutalized online, I choose to watch war, live on TV so that I haven't even powered up any computers in a couple of days. I watch it because I have been there. It is not pretty.

Besides, I do not care to be a member of a cynical, sadistic cult. I noticed that when war broke out the cult immediately moved from the macabre LP case to the war threads so that all of you could comment on the morbidity of war.

I did my very best to show some of you the error of your ways only to be bombarded with hateful comments and to be called names. I gave up.

I would appreciate it very much if all of you would please quit posting your sarcastic comments to me and please do not even reply to this post. It gets tiresome.

Thank you very much, in advance, for honoring my request.

[RGSpincich]

This is classic. You don't mind if I ping everybody do you?

Patriot Games Final Request...Denied

[Sandylapper]

Delighted, RG. Thank you!

[Grampa Dave]

This has to be really rough for those so called patriots who hate our president, our military and the rest of us. I suggest that they put some ice on it and go play with themselves.

[Jackie-O]

Rg thanks for the ping. Get a load of this guy so full of himself! I have many members of my family that have fought in wars that don't go around lookin to get sainted or knighted! Deal PG! I thought you were just playing like the rest of us, but maybe you do need help and should stay off line if you are so tramatized! Prayers for your tormented soul! And I really mean that!
